Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Southern Orators: Speeches and Orations In presenting to the public this collection of Southern oratory, I wish to explain that I do not consider it in any sense complete. The selections are confined chiefly to the field of political oratory. Even this limited division of the field is exceedingly rich in material, and doubtless some speakers are omitted who deserve a place, while others are included who would not ordinarily be considered. In a few cases, I have desired to give a specimen of a speaker´s oratory, but could not find a suitable selection. Most of the men selected are of national as well as of local reputation. Though at the present time we have a number of orators of unusual excellence, particularly among our leaders in education, lack of space has prevented me from including any of them. My chief purpose in preparing this volume has been to interest the young men of the South and the nation in the study of the literary productions and political ideals of our forefathers. Americans have always been great lovers of oratory, but this was true especially of the generations before the Civil War. During that period in our history, most of our great leaders were men of eloquent speech, and an understanding of their lives and speeches is essential to a true conception of our political growth and sentiments.
